9th ALE Highlights - The Future of Digital Agriculture & AI | Collis Stewart, Gates Foundation

Collis Stewart, Program Officer at the Gates Foundation, highlighted that digital agriculture continues to show great promise from farmer advisory services to access to finance and markets. He noted that while the reduction in ODA funding poses challenges for Sub-Saharan Africa, it also opens opportunities as governments step up to bridge the gap. On adoption, he emphasized the need to overcome digital literacy barriers, adding that AI can be a powerful enabler. “With the rise of Digital Public Infrastructure, innovators can now focus on solving adoption and scaling challenges,” he said, stressing that collaboration will be key especially as AI reshapes the agricultural landscape.
